JOB

(Job 1:8-12) And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou
considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a
perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth[Heb: turns aside from, withdraws from]evil? Then Satan answered
the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an
hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he
hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his
substance[Heb: property, possessions] is increased in the land. But
put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee
to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in
thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went
forth from the presence of the LORD.

Job = Heb: hated (i.e. persecuted); the
patriarch famous for his patience /// to hate (as one of an opposite tribe
or party); hence to be hostile:--be an enemy. [who hated Job?]

hedge = Heb: to entwine, i.e. shut in (for
formation, protection, and restraint):--fence. [i.e., the Word of
God, the Bible]

(Psa 34:7) The angel of the LORD encampeth round
about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

(Job 2:3-10) And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou
considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a
perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth
evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity[Heb:
innocence][from sin], althoughthou movedst me against him, to
destroy him without cause["For the wages of sin is
death" Rom 6:23]. And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin,
yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. But put forth thine
hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh,and he will curse thee to
thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand;
but save [Heb: preserve] his life. So went Satan
forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole
of his foot unto his crown. And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal;
and he sat down among the ashes. Then said his wife unto him, Dost
thou still retain thine integrity [Heb: innocence]? curse God, and
die [i.e., sin and die]. But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one
of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of
God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

GIDEON

(Judg 6:12-14) And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him [Gideon],
and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour[Heb:
strength in virtue]. And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be
with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which
our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but
now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the
Midianites[Heb: brawling, contentious, discord, strife]. And the
LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save
Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?

(Gen 28:15) And, behold, I am with thee [Jacob],
and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee
again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that
which I have spoken to thee of.

(Deu 31:6) Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor
be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee;
he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

(Deu 31:8) And the LORD, he it is that doth go before
thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee:
fear not, neither be dismayed.

(Josh 1:5) There shall not any man be able to stand
before thee [Joshua] all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses,
so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

(Heb 13:5) Let your conversation [lifestyle] be
without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he
hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

(Deu 4:30,31) When thou art in tribulation, and
all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if
thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (For the
LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy
thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

(John 16:33) These things I have spoken unto you, that
in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

(Acts 14:21,22) And when they [Paul and Barnabas]
had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many,
they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, Confirming the
souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and
that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

(1 Th 3:4) For verily, when we were with you, we told
you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it
came to pass, and ye know.

(Rev 1:9) I John, who also am your brother, and
companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience
of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of
God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

(Rev 2:9,10) I know thy works [addressing the church
in Smyrna], and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art
rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are
not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those things which
thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil[in his
"great wrath" Rev 12:12]shall cast some of you into
prison[i.e., FEMA camps], that ye may be tried[Gk:
tested]; and ye shall have tribulation ten days[a
short time]: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown
of life.

(Rev 7:14) And I said unto him ["one of the
elders" Rev 7:13], Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These
[Saints] are they which came out ofgreat
tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb.

(Rev 12:12) Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and
ye that dwell in them [the then raptured saved]. Woe to the
inhabiters of the earth and of the sea [the unsaved]! for the
devil is come down unto you, having great wrath[i.e.,
great tribulation], because he knoweth that he hath buta
short time.

THE COMPLETE CONDENSED STORY OF THE SALVATION OF ALL DISCIPLES
(US)

(Mark 6:45-51) And straightway[after feeding the
5,000 men]he constrained[Gk: compelled of necessity] [i.e.,
sent]his disciples [Gk: learners, pupils, students]to get
into the ship[representing the church], and to go to the other
side [i.e., to go from the eastern wilderness to the westward
"Promised Land"] before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the [unsaved]
people. And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to
pray["and a cloud received him out of their sight" Acts 1:9].
And when even was come, the ship was in the midst [Gk: middle] [having
rowed about 3 ˝ miles] of the sea ["tossed with waves"
Mat 14:24], and he alone on the land. And he saw them toiling in
rowing; for the wind [of the world, i.e., Satan, who is "the god
of this world" 2 Cor 4:4; "the prince of the power of the air"
Eph 2:2]was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of
the night [about 6am, sunrise] he cometh unto them, walking upon the
sea[of humanity, expressing Lordship], and would have passed
by them. But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they
supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: For they all saw him, and were
troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be
of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. And he went up unto theminto
the ship[the Second Advent, the Second Coming]; and the wind
ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and
wondered ["and immediately the ship was at the land whither they
went" John 6:21]. ["have not I sent thee?"]

toiling = Gk: to torture:--pained, toil, tormented,
tossed, vexed.

contrary = Gk: opposite; fig. antagonistic:--(over)
against.

THE LORD IS WITH THEE, THOU MIGHTY MAN OF VALOUR. GO IN THIS
THY MIGHT, AND THOU SHALT SAVE ISRAEL FROM THE HAND OF THE MIDIANITES: HAVE NOT
I SENT THEE?
